Respect Should Be Earned

The document discusses how respect must be earned, not given. It makes three key points: 1) People who look down on others will not be respected themselves. 2) We must learn to respect others before expecting respect in return, as respect is a two-way system. 3) Capable people who can lead and make others feel at ease, such as good teachers and parents, will naturally earn respect from those around them. The conclusion is that to be respected, one must first give respect and examine how they approach this issue themselves.

Respect Should Be Earned, Not Give.

Introduction:

What is respect and how do we gain respect? Those are the common questions
raised in the society, but do we know why we want to be respected? Do we
understand the importance of respecting things and people and getting respect in
return?  Respect is really about what we admire in the world and in people. People
tend to admire things that they want. For example, if you want to be beautiful you
will respect beauty. If you do not respect money, you will never have it. If you do
not respect beauty, you will let yourself go. In short, what we respect reflects what
we want. But, how we earn the respect?

Point 1: Can’t despise others.


- People who look down on others will not command respect.

- It because the people who got despise will feel discriminated against and
unhappy.
- They won't respect you because you despise them.
- For example, every teacher should respect students like asking and listening to
their opinions instead of giving orders directly.

- It because when you ask and listen to students, they will feel respected and they
will respect you too.

- Thus, everyone wants to be respected. But, please respect others before being
respected.

Point 2: Before we want to be respected, we should learn how to respect


others.

- It is because everyone wants to be respected and has equal treatment.

- So, they will give their respect to someone who gives them respect too as respect
is a two-way system and not just one way.

- For example, parents will gain the respect of their children through their actions.
- By being there for their children when they are feeling sad after a significant
event occurs in their lives such as the ending of a friendship, parents will gain their
children's respect as their children are able to feel the love and concern of their
parents.

Point 3: Capable people will be respected.

- It because often capable people will be respected by many people.

- For example, if a person is born with leadership skills, kind and patient, he will
win respected.

- It because they have the ability to lead their team well.

- A capable leader can make their team members also feel at ease and not so much
pressure.

- As the saying goes, it is better to have a good leader than a good leader.

- Not only that, often good leaders are loved and respected by many people.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, before we go around complaining that we do not get the respect we


deserve, maybe we should look into ourselves and analyses what is going on with
our concepts and how we approach this matter. It is such an achievement in life to
be respected but as the popular saying goes, respect is a two-way street, and one
has to give it in order to get it.
